Could anyone tell me how my friend stands in this situation?
His solicitor has said he can do no more with his case as he believes it to be a criminal matter but when my friend spoke with the guards previous to this they said it was a civil matter.
He said the guard seemed a bit indifferent with him and said that they could get a warrant(?) to get the info needed to confirm whether there was a crime committed, then changed his mind and told him to go back to his solicitor and get him to get a court order for discovery(?). His solicitor has said that this would cost thousands and that it's a criminal matter and the guards should investigate.
So has my friend got any options open to him to get this matter settled?
(Sorry if the terminology is incorrect but i'm not 100% certain of the words he used)
